The Westerners (Illustrated)

When the Black Hills were discovered to be in valuable ores there began that influx of human beings which always follows new wealth. In this land and in this period Stewart White has laid the setting of The Westerners, a novel which is full of excitement, beauty, pathos and humor A young girl growing to womanhood in a rough camp is one of the central figures of the plot. The other is a half breed, a capricious yet cool, resourceful rascal, ever occupied in schemes of revenge. Around these are grouped the interesting characters which gave to that rude life, and back of them all, rough nature her pristine beauty. The plot is strong, logical and sustained; the characters are keenly drawn; the details cleverly written. Taken all in all The Westerners a thoroughly good story of the far West in its most picturesque decade.
